Plants have a very specific and efficient mechanism to obtain,
translocate and store nutrients from the surrounding environment.
The precise mechanism that helps a plant in nutrient translocation
from root to shoot also, in the same way, transfers and stores
toxic metals within their structure. Metal toxicity generally
causes multiple direct or indirect effects on plants, affecting
nearly all of their physiological functions. Plant tolerance to
heavy metals depends largely on plant efficiency in uptake,
translocation and sequestration of heavy metals in specific cell
organelles or specialized tissues. The main purpose of this book is
to present a holistic view of the recent advancement in the field
of accumulation and remediation using plants, the green solar
powered alternative to ameliorate heavy metal from the polluted
environment. The key features of the book are related to metal
transporters and metal accumulation mechanisms under heavy metal
stress in plants, plant transcriptional regulation and responses
under metal contamination, multiple toxic metal contaminations and
its phytoremediation approaches etc. Based on the advancement of
research in recent years, the information compiled in this book
will bring an in-depth knowledge on the bioaccumulation of metals,
their transportation in natural conditions or genetically modified
plants and their strategy to cope with the toxicity to survive in
the hostile environment.
